Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Nice hole in the wall with delicious food, generous portions and a warm atmosphere. We had tacos, carne asada torta and a lengua burrito with horchata for drinks
I ordered takeout lunch for two. Carnitas Burrito was huge and very yummy! We split the burrito so didn’t even get to the 3 tacos … but I’m sure they are delicious 😋
My go-to taqueria in south OC. A plethora of homemade salsas, personal bags of chips go with every meal. They often have eacabeche carrots and limes that you just have to ask for, but no extra charge. All of the employees are warm and inviting and very helpful. I LOVE PERLAS!!!!!!! Ps get the chicken mole soft tacos on taco Tuesday, you will not regret it!!!!
Perla’s is a cozy taqueria with a large menu and great bang for your buck! My husband and I stopped by for lunch and ordered with our empty stomachs: ceviche mixto (fish, shrimp, and scallop), fish taco, shrimp taco, California burrito, crispy chicken taco, crispy lengua taco, and a crème-filled churro. We were served complimentary chips and salsa (their spicy salsa was so flavorful)! The ceviche was a standout: super fresh with a generous portion. Some of the tacos were a bit on the dry side and could’ve used more sauce, but the California burrito hit the spot! For what felt like pre-pandemic prices, the amount and quality of food was an excellent value. A salsa bar would’ve really taken things to the next level, but overall, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back!
Love this place, taco is delicious, and service also so nice, definitely would come back, recommend pork belly and lengua, so good.
